How can i connect my tablet

which tablet

They will not play a movie through the USB. You can buy an adapter but they are like $40, Amazon has them. Has to be the specific one for the Fire Tablet, they are all different

Did you download in tablet or computer? Are those movies olayable on computer? If they play on computer it would mean that your tv cannot handle certain codecs or formats and you need to re-convert those movies to format understandable by tv. If they dont play on computer then either file is corrupted or you downloaded "fake" movie

It should be pretty much straight forward.

Can you check by setting both tablet and TV to 720p or 1080i?
I am not sure both can support 1080p

How to Connect Tablet to TV using HDMI Easy Fun

2 WAYS TO CONNECT PHONES TABLETS TO TV wire vs wireless review

Hi Thomas

Pair usually refers to "Pairing" bluetooth devices.
The trouble is... Bluetooth is a slow medium for movie transfer and is limited to around 10 meters (yards)
I used to use an adapter which plugged in to the iPad and the HDMI cable plugged in to the other side of the adapter. Then the HDMI was connected to a Digital TV HDMI input.
But that was way back on iPad 1. (2009)
Now days it's a lot easier.
Simply swipe up from the screens bottom. That reveals the AirPlay icon if you are using the $69 Apple TV2. The ATV is connected to the HDTV via a HDMI cable. Simple & works Great!

An App called Air Video HD on the Tablet allows you to choose a Hard Drive Video File for play back on your HDTV.
The Air Video HD developer provides a free piece of Server software for installation on the computer. This is used to point to the Movie files and serves video to HDTV via the App.

I just noticed you didn't mention which tablet you have, so I guess the above would only apply with iPad. Android would take a different approach depending on what version your using and what hardware platform you have.

Good Luck

Another way is usb-hdmi cable.

easiest way to stream to tv is with a cable. depending on the make of the tablet , you can buy hdmi micro cables to connect to tv. doing it wireless you will need a box plugged into the tv that has DNLA capability. both are available to buy.if you go for an android tv box they have that but also have XBMC which will allow you to watch any movie/tv programs/sports etc for free

make sure you have changed input on tv to the hdmi you plugged the cable into.

The Kindle supports a TV connection through the HDMI Port using a Micro HDMI (Type D) to HDMI (Type A) Cable. This cable will allow you to watch a movie from the Kindle Fire but does not support internet browsing through the port.
